Episode 252- Fix the Root: How I Dropped My Total Cholesterol 58 Points & LDL 41 Points in 11 Weeks—Without Medication

In this Facebook Live episode, Shana shares how she naturally lowered her total cholesterol by 58 points and LDL by 41 points in just 11 weeks—without statins—by addressing insulin resistance and easily adding 7 different fibers with the Feel Great System.
You'll learn what causes "high" cholesterol beyond diet, how insulin and inflammation play a bigger role than fat intake, and how strategic nutrients like soluble fibers, phytosterols, and chlorogenic acid improve both lipid and glucose metabolism.

What You'll Learn

The real root of high cholesterol: insulin resistance and poor metabolic signaling.

Why statins don't fix insulin resistance—and what they actually do.

How Balance (soluble fiber matrix) supports healthy LDL, satiety, and blood sugar control.

  • Guar gum, beta-glucans, gum arabic, citrus pectin → lower LDL, stabilize glucose, support gut microbiota.
  • Phytosterols → reduce LDL and raise HDL.

  • Chromium → enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces sugar cravings.

  • Niacin → supports HDL and energy metabolism

How Unimate (yerba mate extract) enhances GLP-1, focus, and fat metabolism.

  • Chlorogenic acid → reduces LDL/triglycerides, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports mitochondrial energy.

  • Theobromine → improves HDL/LDL ratio, boosts mood and alertness without jitters.

  • Mate saponins and polyphenols → lower visceral fat, protect the liver, and calm inflammation

How improving GLP-1 naturally helps you feel full longer, lose weight, and stabilize blood sugar.

  • Simple lifestyle rhythms—light, sleep, meal timing—that magnify your results.

Key Takeaways
  • Fixing insulin resistance improves both cholesterol and blood sugar markers.

  • The Feel Great System is listed in the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) and backed by published studies.

  • You can partner with your clinician to explore reducing or avoiding cholesterol meds as metabolic health improves.

  • Supporting GLP-1 naturally with Feel Great can mimic some benefits of popular medications—without side effects.
